Public Service Commission head Nipo Nabam resigns over paper leak issue: Arunachal Pradesh

The chairperson of the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) tendered his resignation Friday following recruitment examination paper leak.

In a letter to Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brigadier (Retired) Dr BD Mishra, APPSC chairman Nipo Nabam wrote: “In the matter of the unpleasant APPSC fiasco perpetrated by an officer of the Arunachal Public Service Commission on the infamous paper leakage of the Written Examination (Mains) for the post of Assistant Engineer (Civil) of 27th & 28th August, 2022, I being the head of the Commission feel it prudent and rational to put in my papers on moral ground.”

Nabam requested that his resignation be accepted forthwith and deemed demitted office with immediate effect. The APPSC chairperson submitted the resignation letter personally at the gubernatorial head’s residence last evening.
